Google+ Invites
What better way to revive Geekulous than with a review of a shiny new social networking site? Ok, after lots of cyber stalking and obsessive email checking and page refreshing I’m finally a member of Google+. I’m ready to pay forward all the generosity complete strangers bestowed on me. I’m giving out invitations, all I ask is that you follow me on Twitter (@geekfab). Let me know in the comments once you’ve finished that. [...]
iPad App of the Week – Touch LCD Designer Speaking Clock
This week’s featured app is brought to you by the developers at LightPillar. The Touch LCD Designer Speaking Clock is by and large the best alarm clock app out there for both the iPhone and the iPad. Recently I did some redecorating in my room, which allowed me to clear my laptop off of my nightstand. With all that empty space I figured it would be the perfect spot for my shiny new iPad which wasn’t getting [...]

Updates Updates Updates
This week has been one dedicated to revamping the user interface of some of the most popular and prominent websites around. Of course, gaining the most buzz (pardon the pun) is Google+, Google’s answer to Facebook. With people clamoring to get in and actually purchasing invites that are supposed to be free, Google’s social network brings to it the simplicity and ease of use common to all Google products. Along with a brand new interface [...]

iPhone App of the Week – Ambiance
This week’s iPhone app is Ambiance. Now I know this app has been around for awhile now but it’s constant expansion makes it feel like a new app every time I use it. I’ve recently been confined to my office doing very mundane computer work. Being in my office all day has lead to many distractions (people walking in without knocking, the phone ringing off the hook, etc) which has prompted me to find a way [...]

Share your iPhone App Collection using AppsFire
I am on a constant quest to find the next best iPhone app. Whenever I see someone with an iPhone in their hands I’m always curious to know what apps they are using. Just like we share what music we’re listening to (via Facebook, Pandora or Last.fm), we should also be able to share what apps we are using. Wouldn’t it be nice to view other people’s combinations of apps to help create your own [...]

iPhone App of the Week – Bargain Bin
I know it’s been a few weeks since the iPhone App of the Week and I apologize but I think I have one that might make up for it. I love getting new apps and figuring out how I can incorporate them into my busy everyday life. With iPhone and iPod Touch users downloading an average of 10 applications per month and the App Store reaching 1 billion downloads within less than a year of it’s opening [...]

How to make a website with little to no HTML or CSS knowledge – aka Geekulous Origins
I thought this post would be fitting for the unveiling of Geekulous. Over the past year, Gadget Girl Review has started and stopped, I would add a few posts here and there and then would stop for a few months, then start up again and then stop. This time I’m 3 months and 19 posts in (longer than I’ve ever been) and I’m not about to stop now. Since the Gadget Girl Review has a [...]

Dear Google Voice, thanks for the Invite! (Part I)
Well on July 16th I finally received my Google Voice invite. (Ironically I received another invite to a different e-mail address the next day). As soon as that little red badge popped up on my Mail icon in the dock I was clicking on that invite link. So I’ve had a few days to play around with it (wanted to give it a good once over before reviewing it) and I must say, so far [...]
